Occasionally you hear stories about someone who has an “uncle” who works for a major gaming company who will randomly tell his nephew about an upcoming feature for a new game. The controller story you see above follows that path, but there is a photograph to back up the claims.
The image you see in this post is of a next-gen Xbox controller that is for the Xbox X series or possibly the S. The reason this is newsworthy is that the hardware is white, while everything is that Microsoft has shown to date is black.
The image was posted on Reddit with the user saying they went to a party in Washington and apparently the father of the boy who organized the party works for Microsoft. That’s the story and apparently that’s a pizza box next to the controller.
We know this is a next generation controller due to the d-pad and there is a share button on the controller. The other big difference, which we can’t see, is that this controller uses USB-C instead of micro-USB.
The image appears to be authentic with the only anomaly in history, given the current environment, who is hosting a party right now? Other than that, hopefully Microsoft will announce the S series, along with a white iteration, next month.
